In Hunterdon, the power goes out for some

Wind and rain that ripped through parts of Hunterdon the afternoon of Sept. 8 have done enough damage to cause some power outages.

Most of the outages are scattered across Hunterdon, but hardest hit seems to be East Amwell, where Jersey Central Power & Light is reporting that 524 of its customers are without power.

Jersey Central Power & Light also reports that 16 of customers are without power in Alexandria; 22 in Bethlehem; 43 in Delaware Township;33 in Lebanon Township; and 32 in Tewskbury.

The outages come on the heels of a study released Sept. 5 by a consultant for the state Board of Public Utlities that was ordered after widespread outages a year ago following Tropical Storm Irene and an October snowstorm.
